SALADO 77, LEXINGTON 15: At Lexington, No. 22 Salado didn’t allow more than seven points in any quarter in a dominating win at Lexington.

Salado was quick out of the gate, outscoring Salado 31-3 in the first quarter and making sure there would be no comeback by holding a 20-9 scoring edge in the second half.

“I think we all played really well,” Salado coach Kenny Mann said. “I was proud of my bench guys. I didn’t play my starters in the second half and we still outscored them in the second half. I was pleased with that.”
